Lower Your Mortgage

Experts are on hand through Monday June 6th at the LA Shrine with some free advice on how to lower your monthly house payments. (Published Thursday, June 2, 2011)

Starting Thursday, June 2 and going through Monday, June 5, NACA is holding a free mortgage modification event at the LA Shrine Expo Center.

Thousands of people are expected to attend in hopes of permanently lowering their monthly house payments. According to NACA, because of its contracts with all the major lenders and service providers (including Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae), the group is able to permanently reduce many mortgages by $500 - $1,000 by reducing interest rate by 2-3 percent.

One La Puente man who attended a recent NACA event had his $3,300 monthly payment significantly decreased to $1,300 a month.
